Foreign Aid

Moving into the topic that has dominated Cambodian headlines since 1991, authors Brevin Anderson and HIM Raksmey discuss the future of foreign aid and development assistance in the kingdom. Their chapter explores a future where Cambodia is able to downgrade its dependence on foreign aid and move towards a domestically determined allocation of funding towards development priorities. This has ushered in an era of increased private capital investments, stabilized international relationships, and sustainable economic development.
